RESOLUTION #
46-1979
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of Monroe County, Florida,
has received an application from Mr. Mark C. Glosser to reclaim:
A vertical concrete seawall, 120'10ng, is proposed to prevent further
erosion of the shoreline. Back fill with a total of 205 cubic yards of material
will be done when seawall has been completed. Five wooden fender piles will be
installed next to the seawall to allow mooring of applicant's boat. The seawall
will extend approximately 15' from the present apparent MHW line at the point
where erosion is most severe. (File #44-11182-5E)
The project site is bounded on the west by Sisters Creek, a natural
waterbody. Across Sisters Creek is an undisturbed red mangrove (Rhizophora
mangle) area. To the north, east, and south there are residential lots that
throughout the general area are less than 10% developed. Substrate in the area
is marl. Vegetation consisted of saltbush (Baccharis ~.) and a ground cover
of sa 1 tgrass CDi sti chl is ~}.
Substrate in the project site and the adjoining uplands consisted of marl.
Vegetation on the uplands was saltbush and saltgrass, and below the MHW line
it was exclusively the green algae Batophora ~. Fauna within the project site
was limited to Chitons, parrotfish, and some minnows. Evidence that the
shoreline was, and still is, being eroded could be seen by the rock rip-rap.
This rip-rap had apparently been placed to curb the erosion but the shoreline
has since eroded back behind the rip-rap.
WHEREAS, this project has been reviewed and found to biologically
insignificant and filling will eliminate some shoreline discontinuity,
therefore,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of Monroe
County, Florida, that said BOARD hereby gives its approval for the reclaiming
of the shoreline.
RESOLVED this - 27th
day of February , 1979, at a regul arly
scheduled meeting.
